More quotes by R. A. Torrey
Tell me your doctrine of the Fall and I will tell you the state of your theology.
R. A. Torrey
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little many services but few conversions much machinery but few results.
R. A. Torrey
There must be, in any complete revelation of God's mind and will and character and being, things hard for the beginner to understand and the wisest and best of us are but beginners.
R. A. Torrey
We must always bear in mind that the primary purpose of our work is not to get people to join a church, to give up their bad habits, or to do anything other than to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
R. A. Torrey
Do not study commentaries, lesson helps or other books about the Bible: study the Bible itself. Do not study about the Bible, study the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, and only the Bible is the Word of God.
R. A. Torrey
I am ready to meet God face to face tonight and look into those eyes of infinite holiness, for all my sins are covered by the atoning blood.
R. A. Torrey
The reason why many fail in battle is because they wait until the hour of battle. The reason why others succeed is because they have gained their victory on their knees long before the battle came. Anticipate your battles fight them on your knees before temptation comes, and you will always have victory.
R. A. Torrey
Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray.
R. A. Torrey
If you in any way abate the doctrine of hell, it will abate your zeal.
R. A. Torrey
God has not changed and His ear is just as quick to hear the voice of real prayer, and His hand is just as long and strong to save as it ever was.
R. A. Torrey
To have as one's ever-present friend, and to be conscious that one has as his ever-present friend, the Holy Spirit and to surrender one's life in all it's departments entirely to His control - this is true Christian living.
R. A. Torrey
When the perceptive child of God stops to weigh the meaning of these words, then notes the connection in which they are found, he or she is driven to say, I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray.
R. A. Torrey
I would rather go to heaven alone than go to hell in company.
R. A. Torrey
The chief purpose of prayer is that God may be glorified in the answer.
R. A. Torrey
We are not saved by denying self, or taking up our cross, or doing anything else, we are saved by simply believing in Jesus.
R. A. Torrey
The failure to return thanks for definite blessings received is a manifestation of ingratitude that grieves Jesus Christ.
R. A. Torrey
The Devil is perfectly willing that the church should multiply its organizations and its deftly contrived machinery for the conquest of the world for Christ, if it will only give up praying...The Devil is not afraid of machinery he is only afraid of God. And machinery without prayer is machinery without God.
R. A. Torrey
Every true revival from that day to this has had its earthly origin in prayer.
R. A. Torrey
Every Christian who does not study, really study, the Bible every day is a fool.
R. A. Torrey
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power.
R. A. Torrey
